135i with diff lock added would be an awesome car. Shame these are still very expensive. Have to buy one when prices comes near 20k€ here..practically never.

That will not happen lol! We Paid around £25,000 with some extras. And thats only the 177Bhp 2.0 Litre Engine! They are a expensive car but your paying for the engineering and build quality that BMW gives you!

I love this CAR!!!!!BECKINGEN, Germany — After showing us what it could do with the BMW 1 series aerodynamically and inside the cabin, Hartge has taken it one step further and released its final treatment for the sporty, pint-size Bimmer.

The main event of the Hartge tune is the ECU upgrade that squeezes 44 more horses out of the 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6, bringing total power to 350 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. That means the 135i has a 0-60-mph time that is a half-second faster at less than 4.8 seconds, and it can now reach a top speed of 174 mph.

The exterior features a bold body kit with front and rear diffusers, side skirts and rear roof and deck lid spoilers. The addition of Hartge's Classic 2 multi-spoke wheels and lowering the suspension by an inch also help give the vehicle a sportier stance.

A three-spoke leather steering wheel, aluminum pedals and a new instrument cluster are some of the options offered to spice up the interior.

A fully loaded BMW 135i with this treatment will cost the equivalent of $70,832 plus tax. All of the modifications are also available separately.
